Thank you very much for viewing. What I am offering is an antique crepe silk haori that has passed through a long period of time. The color is not a strong jet black, but rather a gentle black with a slight haze. The circular patterns feature auspicious pine needles and plum blossoms in a balanced arrangement. Both are auspicious designs that can be worn regardless of the season. It would also be suitable for outings during the New Year's holidays. The item's thin, high-quality silk texture, the length of the sleeves, and the color scheme of the classical Japanese patterns suggest that it is an item from around the Taisho era, often referred to as Taisho Roman. The fabric has the fine, flowing texture and the lightness of a silk crepe, typical of antique crepe silk. The condition is generally good, considering it is an antique item. Upon checking the lining of the sleeves for the listing, there was almost no dirt or dust, and there were also almost no stains from wear on the sleeve lining. Although there may be minor imperfections if you look closely, it is an item with a strong fabric feel and no major stains or damage, making it wearable. This is only my subjective opinion, and individual perceptions may vary. The patterns have some creasing and dullness that appear to be from the time they were made. There may also be other overlooked imperfections. In addition, there are creases from being folded for long-term storage and wrinkles from being dressed on a torso. I will ship it as is, without ironing. Please understand. The haori string is not included, but I can include a haori string from my collection (with some dirt and frayed tassels) if you wish. Please let me know via the transaction page. Size Length: 90.5 cm (including collar) Sleeve length: 51 cm Sleeve width: 32.5 cm Back width: 58 cm Please allow for some minor errors. The actual color may differ slightly from the photos depending on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Please note that we strictly refuse cancellations or refunds due to differences in the color or image of the item. I do not recommend this purchase to those with a critical eye. It is an item that has passed through a long period of time, and there may be imperfections in addition to those described in the description. Please take the time to carefully review the photos and description before making a purchase. The listing is for the antique haori only. The komon kimono (not antique) that I have paired it with is also currently listed. I look forward to purchases from those who understand antiques. Thank you very much.
